Castle Peak

Chapter 18. Fear

Xie Cen raised her head from the pile of books, she had been reading for several hours straight, her eyes were a little tired, she turned her head and looked at the greenery outside the window, it was a cypress tree, no matter how the seasons change, this tree will not change There is no change, it will not fade, like an old man, standing there silently, watching batch after batch of students in this school, studying in this study room.

The light above her head was dazzling, Xie Cen closed her eyes, her eyes were sore and her tears were streaming down, she exhaled softly, feeling a little more relaxed in her heart, the phone vibrated in her coat pocket, Xie Cen was stunned After a second or two, he carefully took out the phone.

"Have you finished your self-study? I'll pick you up."

It was a text message from Teacher Yu.

Xie Cen pursed her lips, and her long eyelashes trembled. She turned her head and looked out of the window. There was indeed a person standing in the parking lot between the seventh teaching building and the eighth teaching building. Hair, wearing a long windbreaker, although Xie Cen did not see the man's face, he knew that the man must be Yu Nian.

She glanced at her mobile phone. It is now ten forty in the evening. The lights in the study room are turned off at eleven o'clock. It is almost time to go back. Walking out of the self-study room with two thick medical books, she quickened her pace as soon as she stepped out the door. In early April, the weather was still cold at night, and she didn't want Yu Nian to wait for her at the vent for too long.

When he arrived in front of Yu Nian, Xie Cen gasped slightly, walking too hastily, Yu Nian took the book from her hand, stroked her hair, "Why are you in such a hurry, I'm right here."

Xie Cen scratched his head, "No, I'm afraid you'll be in a hurry."

The hand touched Yu Nian's hand that reached out to help hold the book, and after realizing that the other's hand was cold, he felt a little distressed, "You wear so little, Teacher Yu, you should just stay in the car and wait for me obediently."

Yu Nian grabbed Xie Cen's hand, "It's too dark outside, and there are many cars parked here, I'm afraid you won't be able to find me in a while."

The two got into the car, Yu Nian started the car, and asked again, "Are you hungry?"

Xie Cen looked at Yu Nian's pretty side face, paused for two seconds, "I'm not hungry."

"What did you have for dinner?" Yu Nian didn't turn her head to look at her, but just lowered her head and started the car.

Xie Cen lowered his head, speechless.

"I guess, did you read a book at one o'clock in the afternoon and see now?"

Xie Cen couldn't hide it, so he simply nodded his head lightly.

Yu Nian glanced at her blankly, then quickly turned her head away, and curled her mouth, "Go home and eat, I cooked red bean and glutinous rice porridge for you."

"I will be on the night shift tomorrow, so I can't come to pick you up. You should go home early and don't stay too late at school," the car stopped at the red light at the intersection, Yu Nian continued, "Or you can just read at home at night. This way I won't be so worried about you walking alone at night."

"Teacher Yu, I can live in the dormitory tomorrow. You come to pick me up so often, but I feel uneasy. You are very tired from work, and it is rare to spend time on me when you can rest at night."

"Be obedient," Yu Nian stroked Xie Cen's soft hair, "It's been hard for you to prepare for the exam these days, I'd be happy to do something for you, living at home is better than being crowded in a dormitory, I know your school's dormitory conditions, There is not even a separate bathroom, and you have to go to the public bathroom to take a shower."

Xie Cen always felt that Yu Nian's expression seemed to carry some other meaning when he said the last sentence.

But since Yu Nian said so, she could only nod obediently.

The West Campus of Medical University is not far from where Yu Nian lives. Xie Cen would occasionally take the bus back home. The car drove quietly on the city road at night, and the interior of the car was very quiet.

The defense will end in June, and I will report to my alma mater in September. There will be two or three months in between. Xie Cen is currently paying attention to the summer job. I got a job and wanted to recommend Xie Cen to go with him, but Xie Cen hasn't talked to Yu Nian about this matter yet.

Xie Cen turned his head to look at Yu Nian, who was concentrating on driving.

"what happened?"

When Yu Nian suddenly opened his mouth, Xie Cen was startled.

This person... is obviously not looking at him, but he can always notice his every move.

"Teacher Yu, I plan to go to Shanghai for two months during the summer vacation."

Yu Nian still looked ahead and concentrated on driving, "Yourself?"

"With my classmates, go to a pharmaceutical company as a short-term job."

"Ah."

Yu Nian agreed, but there seemed to be no other reaction, Xie Cen felt relieved.

After a few seconds, Yu Nian suddenly said, "Your classmate, girl?"

Xie Cen didn't think too much, and immediately replied, "Girl, she is the monitor of our class. She usually takes care of her classmates and is very enthusiastic."

"Squad leader..."

Xie Cen nodded seriously.

Yu Nian didn't ask any more questions, the car drove into the community in a short while, Yu Nian got out of the car, held Xie Cen's book in his hand, Xie Cen looked down for the key, suddenly realized that he forgot to bring the key, so he raised his head Ask Yu Nian for help.

"In my coat pocket."

Xie Cen lowered his head and put his hand into the pocket of Yu Nian's windbreaker. Sure enough, he found a light key. When he raised his head, he bumped into Yu Nian's arm holding the book. It was even more slender, and Xie Cen's head happened to hit the bone of his elbow, and he felt the pain for a moment, so he let out a soft cry.

Covering his head, Xie Cen blushed, "I'm sorry, Teacher Yu, I bumped into you."

"Does it hurt?"

Yu Nian clamped the book in the crook of his arm, and touched Xie Cen's head with one hand, "Did you hit here just now?"

"It's okay, it's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore, Teacher Yu, I'll open the door."

Yu Nian stood behind her, Xie Cen opened the door, leaning sideways to let Yu Nian in first, but Yu Nian didn't move, just looked at her.

"Teacher Yu, go in." Xie Cen said blankly.

"I suddenly thought of something." Yu Nian took two steps, and when Xie Cen also came in, Yu Nian closed the door, put the two books in his arms on the counter in the entrance, turned around, but suddenly blocked him. Xie Cen, Xie Cen leaned against the door, being held in Yu Nian's arms.

The woman in front of her was very fair, her complexion was fairer than that of ordinary people. At this moment, under the dim light of the hallway, this fair face was even more gentle.

She always gave people a feeling that she was not easy to approach. Xie Cen encouraged himself to bravely raise his eyes to look at Yu Nian in front of him. This person was standing in front of him at the moment, and they were so close.

Xie Cen said, "Teacher, your hair has grown again."

"Yeah." Yu Nian looked at her.

"What are you going to tell me?"

"Go to Shanghai, how long will you stay?"

"Still waiting for news from the squad leader, the time has not been fixed yet." Xie Cen said with a strange faint smile.

Yu Nian caught this difference.

"Xie Cen, have you ever thought about you and me?"

The soreness in Xie Cen's heart that had been suppressed for a long time, the uneasiness that often came up to torture her in the middle of the night made her eyes sore, she blinked hard, and forced back the tears that were eager to appear, Like a coast at low tide, she smiled.

"No."

"Never thought about it?"

"En." As if afraid that his words would not be convincing, Xie Cen nodded vigorously again.

Like a bad actor.

Yu Nian's fingertips were a little cold, and she stroked Xie Cen's face.

"I've always wanted to ask you, are you afraid?"

"Not afraid, Teacher Yu, I am not afraid."

After the fingertip slipped from the face, it touched Xie Cen's chin again. Yu Nian's eyes were terribly calm. Xie Cen felt that this calmness was very familiar. look like.

Xie Cen shivered suddenly.

"teacher……"

"Are you afraid of me?"

Xie Cen didn't know where the courage came from, and suddenly put his arms around Yu Nian's waist, and hugged Yu Nian.

She buried her face in Nian's embrace, "Don't be afraid."

Yu Nian's body froze for two seconds, then reached out and gently pushed Xie Cen away.

Xie Cen looked at Yu Nian in surprise, the uneasiness in his heart gushed like a flood.

"Xie Cen," Yu Nian looked at the person in front of him seriously, "Since you are not afraid of me, why are you always so cautious in front of me?"

She lightly wrapped Xie Cen's shoulders with both hands.

"I don't want my lover to always talk to me in such a cautious tone, and I don't want you and me to be so polite. I hope we are equal to each other."

Xie Cen lowered his eyes and kept staring at the ground.

"We are partners first, and then teachers and students." Yu Nian looked at Xie Cen who bowed his head in front of him, and paused, "I think so in my heart."

"I...I feel like myself," Xie Cen finally raised his head with red eyes, "I'm not worthy of Teacher."

Yu Nian obviously didn't expect the other party to give such an answer, she froze for two seconds, then suddenly burst out laughing.

When she smiled, she originally looked like a cold spring in a cold mountain, but suddenly there was a spring breeze, full of vitality.

"Why are you so stupid."

Yu Nian squeezed Xie Cen's face.

Xie Cen blushed.

"In my heart, I think so too."

"Then let me tell you," Yu Nian kissed Xie Cen's cheek and whispered in her ear, "You're not right."

The author has something to say: go ahead.
